This is awesome... Why couldn't we have this?

[Felis]

We need to go back to when crafting was timed, you needed specific parts in specific colors in order to finish a product, and the parts were often harder to synth than their finished products.

The community decided that dying the gear should be possible after the crafting and not during the crafting with no way to change the color afterwards.

Go look at the opening movie for the game, :P

The opening movie you mean is the movie that started before you even pressed on Start

Within the game, where the Titan CS would have been played, all CS where made with ingame graphic
